Importance of Sustainability in Construction

In Life cycle CO2 assessment of concrete by compressive strength on construction site in Korea, Junghoon Park, Sungho Tae, and Taehyung Kim build on the reduction of life cycle carbon dioxide building emissions and its increasing importance. …

Introduction

This article will provide a good basis for research into the construction of a sustainable building. Various aspects that support the article’s academic reliability include its appearance in a relevant academic journal, the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. In addition, the authors are academics at the School of architecture and architectural engineering. Finally, various articles according to result on Google Scholar have cited this article in question. This report seeks to examine the aspects required to construct a sustainable building for Apple Corporation. It discusses some of the aspects that are required in making sustainable concrete by lowering CO2 emissions. These include assessing CO2 emissions in concrete lifecycle, development of a system that accurately assesses these emissions, and, finally, the analysis of CO2 emissions lifecycle. The report will focus on using these methods to reduce emission of CO2 during construction of the Apple building as concrete’s compressive strength is increased. By this, the building will fit into the Sydney walking tour alongside the other buildings on the tour by being sustainable. ...

But it must be recognized that in modern world, there is greater emphasis on efficient infrastructure as far as construction and development are the two issues of concerns (HM Government, 2008). Therefore, many stakeholders have postulated that construction industry has a big role to play in ensuring that infrastructures are built in the most innovative way and in the most cost-effective way. On…

It is in this context, two documents were determined to provide solutions to the built environment designs. The solutions proposed were different from one another because the first one was a proactive solution and the second one was a reactive solution to climate change. The CIBSE Briefing 8 (2003) was focused on providing new buildings and refurbishments design and operation solutions. The…

For example, the UK national Grid has planned to cut domestic emissions by 45% by 2029, while the European Union countries are in agreement to harness more than 20% of their energy from renewable sources by 2020; U.K’s target is15% (Huang & Infield, 2002). In addition, Scotland and UK have plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050, and a proposed reduction of about 42% by 2020 to…

In addition, one should considering the durability of the selected materials. In bridge engineering, the constructors have opportunity to make their decisions and provide solutions that will give a balance between the environments, social impact, and economical guidelines of sustainability. The bridge to be constructed is a unique one in nature since it will be capable of opening from the middle…

Architectural engineers have a tremendous responsibility when it comes to sustainable development, particularly its implementation, because of their central role in construction, as well as their skills and knowledge (Donnelly & Boyle, 2006: p149).
